Breaking! Video gamers trade blasting bad guys for virtual yoga class!* Ha, just kidding. Microsoft held a big fancy launch party on Sunday night to kick off, and show off, Kinect, (previously known as Project Natal) and their new Xbox 360 contribution to the fitness gaming world, Kinect Sports (think Wii Fit). As part of [...]
Wii Yoga
Ooooh the video gamers have got their thumbs twisted in knots over this! ‘Yoga’ for Xbox 360? Could it be? Well it’s more than a rumor.
